Oct 28, 2015 10:53 AM in response to jlawlor613by rccharles,All of the AirPrint information I am finding says you need to be connected to the same Wifi network.
I'm a little confused on this point too. I think that the ipad can establishes it's own wifi network between an airprint enabled printer and the ipad. This would be called an adhock wifi connection. It could be dependent on what printer you buy. Look through all my links. You will see various solutions.
It has taken a long time for manufactures to sell an airprint enabled mobile printer.
Mobile printing.
probably the best solution -- HP Mobile 100 or HP Mobile 150 printers using HP 1200w NFC
